At 500k HP it might even be considered worse in my view because at that point it has the attention of the bigger whales, which becomes even closer to my point of, "depends" for what you use your votes. If 100% of your upvotes go to the yourself its one thing, if just sometimes or for specific causes (like for example, when you post a burn post, then it does not matter much, and just signals you want to burn rewards for your stake), but if done for too long and always for burn posts, then people will start thinking you are not interested on curating, and that signals you are just interested on ROI, which means you can potentially draw all the stake afterwards. There are a multitude of reasons this can be right or wrong. And this is why it's so complicated to explain why "in general" self-upvoting is kind of Wrong... explaining this to people that understand a bit more of this, is already complex, now imagine 90% of the rest of the chain.
So, in advance of all that thought, bigger people might dislike it even more than that and start downvoting your self-upvotes in advance of that "possibility". Some don't even care... because they are not around as much... it really depends.
But I love these discussions. And really, really happy to see this sharing of opinions.

Thank you for the sweet reply. I'd like to agree with your disagreement on 500k self upvote. There are few bigger stake holders whom I really look up to, one of them being acidyo.(No I didn't tag him to avoid being called suspicious of shoe shining). He's one of those who doesn't self vote, neither he abuse the curation program for his own benefit. I'm saying that to encourage @darkflame to totally give up on self vote, not the other way round.
Why would I suggest perhaps 500k, we can think of self vote? I think it's perfectly natural to give yourself 1 vote for 1 post you've made in a day(despite I myself will NOT self vote, most probably). I didn't mean you can spam 10 posts and make 10 self upvote or upvoting your own comments just to make up that full 20% voting power. I still believe, quality post, engagement, and curation make the entire community function properly.
Once again, no right nor wrong. People choose how they want to vote, I choose whom I vote. I understand one day if the community doesn't like me anymore and start down voting my posts payout to 0, I knew exactly when to #getdafarkoutdahere š
